This out-of-print LP documents an all-star concert that took place ten years after
Charlie Parker
's death in 1955. All six of the boppish performances are very rewarding.
Dizzy Gillespie
's quintet with
James Moody
(doubling on tenor and alto) and pianist
Kenny Barron
perform the pianist's recent
"Um-Hmm"
and a heated "Groovin' High." Trumpeter
Roy Eldridge
, tenor-saxophonist
Coleman Hawkins
and trombonist
J.J. Johnson
(using the pseudonym of
C.C. Siegel
) are in excellent form on "Now's the Time." Altoist
Lee Konitz
plays an unusual unaccompanied solo on "Blues for Bird," singer
Dave Lambert
scats his way through "Donna Lee" (on what would be his final recording) and a medley of "Bird Watcher" and "Disorder at the Border" has such soloists as pianist
Billy Taylor
,
Gillespie
J.J
.,
Konitz
and trumpeter
Kenny Dorham
. This is a consistently exciting set that deserves to be reissued on CD. ~ Scott Yanow
